Becoming a Person through Psychoanalysis

2007 - Karnac Books

In this book Neville Symington
brings together a wide range of lectures and previously published
papers along with fresh commentary, providing the reader with a veritable
feast of his ideas and further thinking about psychoanalytic theory
and clinical practice. This book attempts to trace the pathway along
which Neville Symington has travelled in becoming a person, which
has run in parallel to becoming an analyst. It is autobiographical
but only in a partial sense. It is always emphasized that one's own
personal experience of being psychoanalysed is by far the most significant
part of a psychoanalyst's education.
